Small beets are nutrient-rich root vegetables prized for their vibrant color, earthy sweetness, and versatility in cooking. Originating from the Mediterranean, they’ve been a staple in many cuisines, including Eastern European borscht, Middle Eastern salads, and modern health-focused dishes. Packed with essential nutrients, small beets are an excellent source of fiber, folate, manganese, and potassium. Their deep red pigment comes from betalains, plant compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that support heart health and detoxification. Low in calories and high in natural sugars, beets can help boost energy but should be consumed in moderation by those watching carbohydrate intake. Beyond their roots, beet greens are edible and equally nutritious. Whether roasted, boiled, or juiced, small beets add a sweet, earthy depth to dishes while promoting overall wellness.
